Beautiful Losers: A Novel Of Suspense (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
She’d heard from Damian Fairweather that morning. The longed-for offer had been made and it was a good wedge lower than expected. Forty thousand, to be precise. Stannard, she thought angrily, the ugly little freak. Visions of being trapped in a home she couldn’t afford, her life stuck in a hideous time warp, held no appeal. Until the house was sold there was no way out. The dismal truth was she was no good on her own. Without a partner, she felt as if she was living a half life. She didn’t belong anywhere and it was killing her. And she was very, very angry at the world. Her friends thought her ludicrous. They simply didn’t understand. She poured herself another sherry. It wasn’t right that Stannard had taken advantage of her situation. She’d no idea that he was buttering her up with his neat speech, his crooked expression of sincerity, in order to fleece her. Gentleman, indeed? Bastard, more like. At the end of the day, to quote Fairweather’s knackered old expression, she concluded that she had no realistic choice.
